Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20101006-1+b1 ping(8) says
"Duplicate packets should never occur, and seem to be caused by inappropriate link-level retransmissions. Duplicates may occur in many situations and are rarely (if ever) a good sign, although the presence of low levels of duplicates may not always be cause for alarm." "never" is surely not correct. When people read this (looking for the funny "DUP!" in ping's output), then their heart stops beating and they don't read the rest. I would suggest to explicitly mention the DUPs in the description of ping's "-b" option.
